Cyber regulations are undergoing a major shift, moving from broad federal mandates to state, local, and industry-driven frameworks. This evolution gives organizations more flexibility but also greater responsibility in protecting critical systems.

Executive Order 14306

With Executive Order 14306, managing AI software vulnerabilities is now a priority, reflecting the rising importance of securing emerging technologies.

Ransomware and Local Response

Policies on ransomware payments and scaled-back federal programs signal the need to strengthen ties with local cybersecurity communities and expand internal threat intelligence.

NERC CIP Standards

For energy and utilities, updated NERC CIP standards raise the bar with requirements like CIP 15-1 network monitoring, tighter vendor access controls, and multi-factor authentication.

Beyond Compliance

These changes present challenges but also opportunities. By adapting proactively, organizations can ensure compliance, strengthen defenses, and build resilient cybersecurity practices that address today’s evolving threats.
